    In between read the review of P200NS in march autocar issue.
    Its got 9/10 (which is the best they give :P)
    Everything is positive-positive.
    The negative they wrote are -
    1) TVS Eurogrip tyres do not do justice to the superb handling provided by the chasis. Its true but as antz.bin informed MRF Zappers would be carrying out the job on the production versions.
    2) The bike doesn't have self-cancelling indicators seens on previous gen pulsars. Now isn't self-calcelling indicators the normal indicators found on almost all bikes (like my stunner ). so how come its not present...

    Goodies were alot to mention on the review. Probably everything. Engine, handling, refinement, build quality, switchgears, fuel filler-cap just everything is perfect on this PERFECT-MACHINE.

    Now the negatives might be few but they are serious!! How can they ignore good tyres and a nice feature like self cancelling indicators!! slightly disappointed actually...

    Great news!! thanks so much for this... I was hesitant to buy Autocar March coz I thought they would be testing Pulsar 200 NS next month... Im buying the issue for sure.... Yippeee great rating by them... tells a lot about the bike....

    Overdrive has tested Duke in their March issue as well... that makes for an interesting buy too!!

    Happy Riding :-)

    Agreed...and I never meant to underestimate this bike. It is definitely a perfect bike putting other overpriced bikes to shame...without any doubt!!

    Just FYI,
    The TVS tires on A180(using it for almost 3 years) are quite good and have got a good grip in wet.
